no longer servants

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. - John 15:15

I find it comforting to know that Jesus Christ does not consider us servants who need to do His bidding. Instead, He considers us friends with whom He has shared everything. We are his dear friends whom He loves and cares for. He gives us the freedom to think, ponder, and act on the words of truth that He shared with us.
